2024年6月大学英语四级考试听力原文(第2套)
2024年6月大学英语四级考试听力原文（第2套）News Report OneA JetBlue Airlines flight from West Palm Beach to New York City was forced to turn around and land Sunday morning after the plane struck a bird.The flight from Palm Beach International Airport to LaGuardia Airport turned around just minutes after takeoff following the strike.No injuries were reported on the plane, and the flight took off once again seven and a half hours after the first attempt."It was like a split second of panic that resulted in this nervous reaction on the plane," said passenger Brian Healy. "There was total quiet and then there was relief when the plane came to a stop."An email from JetBlue read, "Our team is working to accommodate customers on later flights."Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.Question 1. What do we learn about the JetBlue Airlines flight from the news report?Question 2.How did the passengers feel when the plane came to a stop, according to Brian Healy?News Report TwoA deadly snake which had finally been tracked down after escaping a zoo has slipped away for the second time.The poisonous snake forced the closure of the attraction last week when staff noticed the disappearance.After six days of desperate searching, he was eventually found and placed in a supposedly secure area.But it seems the animal is no fan of the zoo because yet again he is out on the loose.The snake is a relative newcomer to the zoo but has already been frustrating its staff.The staff believe he squeezed himself out of a gap located around new energy-saving bulbs installed inside the snake house.He was only found the first time around because staff brought in a special machine to trace him inside a wall opening.This kind of snake is one of the most deadly and poisonous in the wild, and they can range from three to five metres in length.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.Question 3. What do we learn about the deadly snake from the news report?Question 4. How have the zoo staff been feeling about the snake?News Report ThreeElectric bikes have been the craze in downtown Jacksonville since they were first introduced earlier this month as a one-year pilot program.But they're leading to safety concerns, mainly at night when some riders don't follow the rules of the road.As the night goes on, groups of riders are often seen traveling in just about every direction in the streets and on pedestrian paths.That is increasing the probability of dangerous accidents.Electric bike riders have to follow all the same rules as you would if you were in an automobile.That means no running red lights or traveling in the opposite direction of traffic on one-way streets.City Council member Anna Cumber was instrumental in introducing the electric bikes to Jacksonville as a way to bring new life into downtown. And she's aware of the concerns.Cumber said, "People can have fun, but both drivers and riders are responsible for paying attention while on the road. And never assume the driver is going to stop or see you."Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.Question 5.What do we learn from the news report about the introduction of electric bikes into Jacksonville?Question 6. What are electric bike riders supposed to do?Question 7. Why did City Council member Anna Cumber advocate the introduction of electric bikes into Jacksonville?Conversation OneWhat's the best way to teach children how to save and spend their money?You should make money a regular topic of discussion. It's best to start young. So it's instinctive rather than a scary subject.In our family, we talk openly about things like the budget for holidays, how taxes reduce your income, and how to shop around for the best deals.Indeed. It's also essential to make money real for children through practical examples.Working out how much we save using discount pizza coupons, for example, is much more relevant than abstract sums.We also give our kids pocket money, and the amount they get is linked to chores, such as putting the bins out and emptying the dishwasher.We do that, too. And it's paid according to their age, ￡2 for each year. So they can see some progression.Teaching them to save is important. We opened the savings account when they were young.After birthdays and Christmas, they would go to the branch and deposit their gift money.Oh, I hadn't considered doing that. In our house, we have transparentmoney boxes for them to put small change in. So they can see their savings grow.When the time is right, I'll start talking to our children about investing and show them how the money saved for their further education has grown.I am always talking to my elder daughter about the importance of saving into a pension.She's just started a part-time job and was thinking of not contributing to her pension. Luckily, I managed to persuade her otherwise.Yes, it's such an important lesson to learn.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 8. What should we do with the topic of money according to the woman?Question 9.How does the woman say money can be made real for children?Question 10.What is the common practice between the man and the woman?Question 11. What is the woman always talking about to her elder daughter?Conversation TwoWelcome to Books in Review. Our guest today is John Banks, the author of the bestselling new book. Glad to be here, Jane.Your book has sold 2,000,000 copies. But before we discuss why it's getting so much attention, let's talk about your background.You're an economist and spent two decades teaching at universities?I spent 25 years as a professor actually, and then for the last 10 years, I've worked as a political consultant, advising politicians at the national level about problems in our country.You discuss three of those problems in the book, improving public education, reducing our nation's health care burden, and increasing personal savings.But your ideas about education are the most controversial.Absolutely. A lot of people think I'm trying to punish students who aren't doing well, when actually my goal is to give all students more incentive to succeed.I'm not sure I agree with you. Your proposal to pay cash rewards to students who get good grades is a particular problem.What about students who don't get good grades? It seems like you're blaming them for not succeeding when poor performance in school isn't the child's fault.But my proposal is not just to reward students with good grades, but also students who show improvement.Okay. Another criticism of the plan is the cash rewards themselves. Where will the money come from?If students do better, we'll spend less on schooling. So in the end,the rewards will pay for themselves.What about now? How will we fund the rewards in the meantime?Well, by increasing taxes or moving money from other areas of the budget into education.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 12. What do we learn about the man?Question 13. What does the woman say is the most controversial?Question 14. What does the man say is his real goal?Question 15.What will be one option for funding the proposed rewards according to the man?Passage OneI met three different people today, and each time, when I asked, "How are you?" The reply was exactly the same, "I'm busy".Honestly, I hear the same answer from the vast majority of people I meet. So I started to think: "Guess what? Everybody's busy!"I'm busy, you're busy, everybody's busy. So you being busy doesn't make me sympathetic at all. Because "busy" is the state of the world.So I'm launching a campaign to stop people complaining about being "busy". It may sound harsh, but the truth is, nobody cares.In a busy world, "being busy" doesn't stand out, nor does it mean productive, creative, accomplished, or professional.Steve Maraboli once said, "When someone tells you they are too busy... It's not a reflection of their schedule; it's a reflection of YOUR spot on their schedule."Donna Lynn Hope has also remarked, "Busy doesn't mean better. I've never envied a busy person—the one who likes to point out their busy lives to others."The reality is, nobody's too busy—It's just about priorities. So the next time someone asks you how you are, maybe respond differently.In my experience, the "I'm busy" response is really covering up the fact that they're not actually accomplishing their real purpose.And "being busy" is the lie they tell themselves about why they can't achieve it.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 16. Why is the speaker launching a campaign?Question 17. What does the speaker advise us to do next time someone asks us how we are?Question 18.Why do many people make the "I'm busy" response, according to the speaker?Passage TwoMore and more people are taking up extreme sports like snowboarding, skateboarding, mountain biking, and many more. Why are these sportsbecoming so popular?One thing that extreme sports do better than perhaps anything else is to help you stop being afraid.It may sound strange to say that their main function is to induce fear, but after a time, your fear response to other things in life will be dramatically reduced.After all, if you can jump out of a plane or off a bridge, then you can face anything else easily. When doing extreme sports, you have to become more focused.You'll be pushed to your limits. And if you aren't focused, you'll make dangerous mistakes.Learning to be this focused when enjoying extreme sports will help you to be focused at work, keeping you more productive and ultimately more successful.It's great to stay fit and healthy, but standard exercise routines and sports only work the same muscles repeatedly.With extreme sports, you'll be working entirely different muscles, and that means you get an all-over workout.Extreme sports also burn a lot more calories than other sports. Skateboarding, for example, can burn as many as 500 calories per hour. Basketball burns around 300 in the same time.When you find that you can overcome the physical or mental challenges involved in extreme sports, you'll feel superhuman and your self-confidence will be at an all-time high.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 19. What may sound strange to say about extreme sports?Question 20. Why should one be highly focused when doing extreme sports?Question 21. How can extreme sports benefit us more than standard exercise routines and sports?Passage ThreeMost of us have been in teams or organizations where we've had conflict with the people that we're working with around the ideas or decisions that we're discussing.Conflict is natural. We all bring different life and work experiences to the table. We all have different personality preferences and tendencies.We're not all going to have the same ideas on how to approach policies, programs, or problems.But too often we get caught in this place where conflict is perceived to be negative — something we want to avoid so that we can maintain the harmony of our workplace.This could be because some people want to avoid conflict at all costs,after all they still have to work together. But this kind of artificial harmony isn't the answer.Productive conflict is a vital part of teams and organizations that want to push forward and do more.Without conflict, we're often stuck in this artificial harmony where people don't express potentially innovative ideas for fear that they may start conflict with others.But if you're in a place where you have a basis of trust, conflict can be extremely productive. It can lead to increased innovation and greater trust on teams.It may be an uncomfortable process, but good leaders and healthy teams recognize that productive and healthy conflict is an important part of how they function.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 22.What does the passage say about conflict in organizations?Question 23. Why do some people want to avoid conflict at all costs?Question 24.Why is productive conflict important for teams and organizations?Question 25. What does productive conflict need as a basis?。

6月大学英语四级听力题目答案及原文第2套
Part II Listening ComprehensionSection ANews Report One【话题预测】由college students，sleep，problem，stress，psychological 等词可推断，本则新闻与大学生睡眠或心理健康有关。
【正确答案】1—2 B D听力原文You probably think college students are experts at sleeping, but parties, preparations for tests, personal problems and general stress can wreck a student’s sleep habits, which can be bad for the body and the mind. Texas Tech University is even offering a class called “Improving Your Sleep Habits”. People suffering from sleep loss are at an increased risk from obesity, psychological problems and car crashes. Students who don’t get enough sleep have poor attendance and lower grades. On top of all that, a new study published in the journal Learning and Memory finds you are probably better off sleeping than making last-minute preparations for a test. 200 college kids were taught to play some unfamiliar video games. Subjects who learned the games in the morning lost some skills when they played again 12 hours later, but they did much better after getting a good night’s sleep. So if you really want to do your job well, don’t forget to get some sleep. Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.1. What is the news report mainly about?2. What is the finding of the new study published in the journal Learning and Memory?试题解析【话题分类】时事新闻【新闻大意】大学生睡眠不好会严重影响学习效率和身心健康；Texas Tech 大学甚至开设课程教授学生改善睡眠习惯，提高睡眠质量；新的一项研究也证明了提高睡眠质量的重要性。

In its latest update on Global Employment Trends, the agency says projections of the number of unemployed people this year range from 210 million to nearly 240 million people. The report warns that 200 million poor workers are at risk of joining the ranks of people living on less than two dollars per day in the past three years. The Director-General of the International Labor Organization Juan Somavia notes that some countries have taken measures to address the effects of the global crisis. However, he points out that many countries have not done so. And based on past experiences, it takes four to five years after economic recovery for unemployment to return to pre-crisis levels. Mr. Somavia says the International Labor Organization is proposing a global job’s agreement to deal with unemployment.“Its key objective is to place so the center of recovery efforts, measures that would generate high levels of employment and provide basic social protection for the most vulnerable.”1. What is the news report mainly about?2. What does Juan Somavia, the Director-General of the International Labor Organization say?Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.Big fast food chains in New York City have started to obey a first-of-its-kind rule requiring them to post calorie counts right on the menu. Cathy Nurses is with the New York City Department of Health.“We wanted to give people an opportunity to actually see the calories before they purchase the food and make a decision, an informed decision that if they want to make the healthier choice, if they want to eat fewer calories, they can. And we expect this will have a huge impact on obesity. And of course, if it has an impact on obesity, it will have an impact on diabetes and heart disease and high blood pressure.”The new rules will introduce as a part of anti-obesity campaign that also includes a recent citywide ban and artificial trans-fats in restaurant food. The menu rule only applies to restaurants that serve standardized portion sizes and have fifteen or more locations nationwide.Starting last Saturday, chains big enough to fall under the rule will face penalties about 2000 dollars for not showing calorie information in a prominent spot on their menus, preferably next to the price.3. What are big fast food chains in New York City required to do according to the new rule?4. What will happen to big restaurant chains that violate the new rule?Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.Almost all companies recognize the importance of innovation today. But not many are able to integrate innovation into their business. A commentary in the Shanghai Daily points out that innovation doesn’t mean piles of documents. It is something more practical. The article says many people tend to assume that innovation just means creating something new, but actually it's more than that. It's an attitude of doing things. A company should find ways to innovate not just in products but also in functions, business models and processes.The article cites the global giant Procter & Gamble as an example, saying a real innovative company should develop an innovation culture and use it as a primary tool for success. Procter & Gamble has a “Corporate Innovation Fund” which offers big rewards for high-risk ideas that succeed. It also has a special innovation facility for its employees. Sometimes its employees are released from their daily jobs for weeks and spend their time interacting in the innovation facility instead. In conclusion, the article says innovative ideas alone do not ensure success. It’s pointless unless there is a repeatable process in place to turn inspiration into financial performance.5. What is the problem with many companies according to the news report?6. What do many people tend to think of innovation?7. What does the company Procter & Gamble owe its success to?Section BQuestions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.M: So, Lyndsay, do you like to text message on your cell phone?W: Yeah, I text message a lot.M: I don't do it so much. I prefer to make a call if I'm in a hurry.W: Yeah, I go both ways. Sometimes I don’t really want to talk to the person. I just want to ask them one question, so it's much easier for me just to text message. If I call them, I'll have to have a long conversation.M: Yeah, I can see what you mean. But I get off the phone pretty quickly when I call. I'm not a big talker.W: Yeah, that's true. You don't talk a lot.M: So are you fast at writing the messages with your thumb?W: Well, when I first got a cell phone, I was so slow. I thought I would never text message. But then people kept text messaging me, so I felt obliged to learn how to text message. So now I'm pretty fast. What about you?M: Actually I have the opposite problem. When I first got my cell phone, I thought it was so cool to text message all my friends who have one, and I was pretty fast with my thumb then. But it seems like now I don't use it so much, I've got slower actually.W: Yeah, I think text messaging actually is what you have to do with your age. For example, people in high school, they text message a lot. But I ask my father if he texted messages, and guess what he said?M: What?W: He said he'd never text message. He thinks it's very childish and unprofessional to text message.M: Yeah, I can see what he means. It's considered pretty informal to text message someone.8: What does the man say about himself?9: What does the woman tend to do while she is on the phone?10: Why did the man text message all his friends when he first got his cell phone?11: What does the woman's father think of text messaging?Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.W: Good morning, Mr. Johnson. How can I help you?M: Well, I'd like to talk to you about Tim Bond, the department manager.W: What seems to be the problem?M: Well, ever since Sandra left the department, I feel like I've been targeted to do all her work as well as mine. I'm expected to attend too many meetings and I seem to be spending a lot of my time doing unnecessary paper work.W: I'm sorry to hear that.M: And, on top of that, I'd specifically asked if I could leave early last Friday as I’d done a lot of overtime during the week. But that afternoon, even though I'd finished my assigned work, I was told to help other colleagues finish their work, too.W: But surely that's a positive sign showing that Mr. Bond has a lot of trust in you.M: Yes, but other colleagues get to leave early, and they don't have such a lot of work to do.W: So you feel he's been making unrealistic demands on you?M: Yes, absolutely.W: Have you approached Mr. Bond about this particular problem?M: I've tried, but it seems like he just has no time for me.W: Well, at this stage, it would be better if you approached him directly. If nothing else, showing that you've tried to solve the problem yourself, before you take it further, makes it clear that you're just not a complainer. Why don't you send an email requesting a meeting with him in private?M: Hmm, I’d be a bit worried about his reaction. But anyway I'll send him an email to request a meeting, and I'll see what happens from there. Thanks for your advice.W: Good luck. And let us know the outcome.12. What do we learn about the man from the conversation?13. What is the man's chief complaint?14. How does the woman interpret the fact that the man was asked to help his colleagues with their work?15. What did the woman advise the man to do?Section CQuestions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.The massive decline in sleep happened so slowly and quietly that few seemed to notice the trend. Was it because of the growing attraction of the Internet, video games and endless TV channels? Never disconnecting from work? No matter how it happened, millions of Americans are putting their health, quality of life and even length of life in danger.New evidence shows why getting enough sleep is a top priority. Some 40% of Americans get less than 7 hours of shut-eye on weeknights. "The link between sleep and health, and bad sleep and disease is becoming clearer and clearer," says Lawrence Epstein, a sleep expert at Harvard University. For example, sleep duration has declined from some 8 hours in the 1950s to 7 in recent years. At the same time, high blood pressure has become an increasing problem. Blood pressure and heart rate are typically at their lowest levels during sleep. People who sleep less tend to have higher blood pressure, heart attack, diabetes, weight gain and other problems.Sleeping better may help fight off illness. "When people are sleep-deprived, there are higher levels of stress hormones in their bodies which can decrease immune function." says Doctor Felice, of Northwestern University in Chicago. A university of Chicago study shows people who sleep well live longer. So say good night sooner and it may help you stay active and vital to a ripe old age.16. What is the speaker mainly talking about?17. What do we learn from the talk about today's Americans?18. What does the speaker say will happen to people who lack sleep?Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Parents and teachers will tell you not to worry when applying for a place at a university. But in the same breath we’ll remind you that it is the most important decision of your life.The first decision is your choice of course. It will depend on what you want to get out of university, what you are good at and what you enjoy. The next decision is where to apply. Aim high but within reason. Do you have the right combination of subjects and are your expected grades likely to meet entry requirements? The deadline is January 15th. But it is best to submit your application early because universities begin work as soon as forms start rolling in.The most important part of the application is the much feared personal statement. This is your chance to convey boundless enthusiasm for the subject. So economy of expression is foremost. Omit dull and ineffective generalities and make sure you give concrete examples.Admissions officers read every personal statement that arrives. It is not convincing if you say you have chosen the subject because you enjoy it. You have to get across what it is about a particular area that has inspired you. They will look for evidence that you have reflected and thought about the subject.Applicants should be honest. There is no point saying you run marathons if you are going to be out of breath arriving at the interview on the second floor.19. What is the first decision you should make in preparing to apply for a place at a university?20. What is the most important part of the application?21. What must applicants do in their personal statements?Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.It is usually agreed that a German, Carl Benz, built the first motor car in 1885. It was actually a tricycle with a petrol motor at the rear. Soon, members of the royal family and other wealthy people took up motoring as a sport. Many of the early cars had 2 seats. There were no petrol pumps and few garages, so every driver had to be his own engineer for the frequent breakdowns.By 1905, cars began to look like cars of today, with head lamps, wind screen, rubble tyres and number plates. Henry Ford's Model T introduced in America in 1909 was cheaper because it was made on the assembly line. It brought cars closer towards the reach of ordinary people. With the popularity of the car, registration became a must in 1903 with the Motor Car Act. Competency tests were introduced in 1935.Today, the legal driving age for a car in the UK is 17. You are not allowed to drive a car unsupervised until you have passed a driving test. In 1958, Britain celebrated the opening of its first motorway – the Preston Bypass. Until then, no one really understood what a motorway was, not even the laborers who were building it. The bypass held a new era in motor travel and was greeted with excitement and optimism. Service stations came with the motorway and the legend of the transport cafe was born. Of course, the service station has diversified greatly. But whether it’s an English-cooked breakfast or a coffee and a sandwich, one thing has remained the same: the prices.22. What does the speaker say about the first motor car?23. What was the problem with the early cars in Britain?24. Why did Henry Ford's Model T cars cost less?25. What do we learn about the Preston Bypass?。
